Anyone have any experience with aftermarket tow mirrors? Amazon has a bunch of different brands to choose from, all look like Dodge mirrors and probably all made in China and a lot of bad reviews.

Check 1A Auto website, they're a forum sponsor and the ones for the Gen4 trucks always have good reviews.

I tried several and none would stay on very well. I ended up with **** #11400 Extensions. They slide over the existing mirrors and stay on.
Check them out on Amazon or eTrailer.com

OEM ones seem to be the only consistent good ones, mine don't vibrate, shake, etc.

I had the slip ons on my GMC. They work but just to small. I’m checking the salvage websites today to see what I can find.

Does a forum member get a discount from a forum sponsor?
Try asking in the vendor's sub-forum, some will do special pricing or free shipping.

Mine are branded as "paragon". Clean install and all works like it should. Had the dealer activate the puddle and signal lights. No dealer sales code was required for the mirror to move correctly folded up or down. Did have to cut the foremost mounting stud to clear the A-pillar which seems to be very common with any after market tow

I can sell you my oem tow mirrors once I get my new ones. I am going to the regular mirrors, dont need the tow mirrors that came on the truck. Harder to fit in the garage.

What options do your mirrors have? I might be interested. My son will be buying a pair soon too. We both have power fold, puddle lights, heated and turn signal

I need the non-power fold tow mirrors for my 2018 3500n Tradesman. They should still have most everything else (power adj, puddle light, etc). Let me know if you want to sell them.
